I don't no what else to say to you. You sound so automatic without caring about the facts and the dangers here. To you selling the ports doesn't matter because if Bush says it's alright, that is good enough. Well I don't follow this administration luck step. When Bush tried to push Meiers down people's throat I was resistant. This is a common sense issue. Would you sell our ports to North Korea if Bush said it was alright?
The ports are not being sold. That's been mentioned over and over.
NOBODY IS SELLING ANY PORTS HERE.
Variations of this story have been posted dozens of times over the last few days, in dozens of different media outlets of all types (including here on FreeRepublic). And yet it seems that none of these articles -- aside from the comment threads here on FR -- present the actual facts about the exact nature of the merger/acquisition in question have been presented.
This is why the so-called "conservative media" is rapidly following CBS and the New York Times into oblivion.

You're telling me I don't care about facts and you're STILL spouting the lie that the ports are being sold?? Good gosh, you sound as knee jerk as a Democrat! PORTS AREN'T BEING SOLD. The operations company that runs them is, by a British company. It's like saying an office building is being sold when a different cleaning service is being brought in. The ports are STILL going to be in US hands. And ANY of the ports can opt to go with a new operations company if they choose and not deal with the new one DWI. Does that sound like ownership of the port to you? The port authority is still in control of the ports. They are the client. The UAE based company, DWI, is the vendor. The company that offloads and moves containers is what's being sold. No power nor jurisdiction over the ports is being put into anyone else's hands! Can I get any more clear than this?
And my demanding accuracy on this has nothing to do with what Bush wants or doesn't want. I have no opinion on it one way or another. I just want YOU to get the facts right and to stop buying into Democratic propaganda!
